For your consideration, I am offering this 20 Peso gold coin from 1959, issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Venustiano Carranza de la Garza (born Decemeber 29th, 1859)- a leader of the Mexican Revolution. He became President of Mexico following the overthrow of the dictatorial Huerta regime in the summer of 1914, and during his administration the current constitution of Mexico was drafted. Obverse features relief-portrait of Sr. Carranza; reverse depicts The Monument of the Revolution. Released in limited number. The actual gold weight (AGW) is .482 troy ounces; gold-content/ratio is .900; Condition is VF+ (very-fine-plus- please see pics); Diameter=27.5mm. Originally purchased from Apmex and enclosed in plastic slip-case. Highly-collectible, historical, and very hard-to-find coin these days!Feel free to email me with any questions- thanks for looking!
